It was recommended by the local if I want to get fish & chips. Ordered blue cod and the battered fish is excellent. The fish is fresh and the batter is crispy and not thick.The only let down is the chips are not as good as the fish.The staff is very friendly. The shop decor is retro and interesting.

Great food, impeccable service. This is a small shop, a small shop with a history of 90 years, a small shop worthy of respect. They not only treasured the restaurant's earliest menu, but also treasured the menu full of customer comments. A restaurant that truly cares about customers will surely become a century-old restaurant, come on!

After reading some of the other reviews there is no doubt that 'Best Cafe' lives up to its name and previous reviews. A pleasure to eat fish which was lightly battered and crisp, along with chips that were well coloured and crunchy.If you love 'old school' service this is the only place to visit in Dunedin.

The food is great, and so is the service. The two employees on duty front of house were really friendly and conversational. There were some items that weren't available which is completely understandable as it's a seasonal game, but that's not the reason for 1 less star. My wife and I feel the portions are quite small compared to what we are used to with seafood. My wife typically gets full easily, but we both still had hunger after our meals. I was surprised at little volume of chips given for the fish meals, but they do give you complimentary bread and butter which is nice.

Best fish and chips I have had in a long time. Was recommended to me for lunch while spending the day in town. Service was great, the staff were so helpful and friendly. The food was delicious and the sizes were great. The tea was lovely as well. Highly recommend a visit.

Walk through the doors of this place and walk back in time! With the retro decor, formica tables and bread and butter served as an entrée, I am a kid back in the 1960s or 70s New Zealand once more. I have only had the fish which always comes in the lightest of batter with a little kiwi" style salad and chips. Well worth a traditional Friday night visit."

All the staff was so sweet and kind, and the food was amazing too!I chose Blue cod&Gurnard fishes and battered oyster, crumbed scallop.Good point is they dont sprinkle salt on them not like common F&C T/A shops.Their tartar sauce was good too!

Cosy atmosphere. Friendly staff. Delicious food. Price at current market price. Staff is very precise on what is frozen, as oysters are not in season. Fish & Chips was yum, forgot to take photo. Coleslaw was very fresh, I think vinegar based. In my view I liked how it was not creamy which went well with battered food. Paua Pattie was filled with great amount of PAUA, for the price I was impressed. Tartare Sauce filled with generous amount of chopped pickles &/or capers. Good quick dinner for two people. Also this is the first fish & chips restaurant I left without smelling like fried food on my clothes and hair. Definitely an eatery I will visit again.
